WebQuest I: Stock Market Simulation


1. Click here and make sure that it opens in another window.

2. Read the introduction and then click on "Trade Traditional Stocks"

3. (You don’t need to update the Shock player. Don't update. If you have trouble, let me know.)

4. Buy stock in Duke, YeeeeeHaw.com, the Electric Co, and hypercola in any combination.

5. You don’t need to spend all of your money right away and you can buy and sell with each turn.

6. Hit the “two week advance” button.

7. Click on the "news flash" option, read and evaluate. Then buy and sell stock.

8. Repeat step 6.

How'd you do? Record your percent return in your notebook.



Bonus question:
When was the biggest stock market crash in U.S. history?

When you've finished, do the Golden Age of Radio WebQuest.
